Frequently Asked Questions

We are highly experienced in onboarding our Accounting and Tax clients and it’s more seamless than you would think. After our initial meeting to understand your requirements, we will ask you to provide all of the historic tax & accounting information that you have available. Where you don’t have copies, we will liaise with your previous accountant to request this information directly. We then request access to your accounting system, set you up on our internal digital systems for Tax, ASIC and Accounting and keep you in the loop once all done.

For each of our clients we prepare detailed tax plans after the March BAS has been lodged. This tax planning covers your whole group, company, trusts, individuals and superannuation funds. We predict the end of year financial outcomes for the final quarter and year to date tax payments and obligations. We then prepare a series of scenarios to enable us to discuss alternative outcomes to meet your needs and manage your respective tax profiles. When we then prepare your year-end work the hard work has been planned up front.

Kim was a Director of PDY Partners when she was first recommended to me. At a time when my start up business needed accountancy and helpful financial advice, I was looking for someone I could trust to give me the best advice. Here we are six years on. Kim is someone I can trust. When it comes to business or financial advice I guess we’re all looking for the best advice we can get, from someone we can trust.
